Clutch with 6 Notelets

Hi everyone! We are busting through the months… it’s September 1st already! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Mix It Up Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for MIUCB #29 – Anything Goes + 3-D Project! Remember, all of our challenges are ‘anything goes’ and we offer a different technique twist each month for inspiration but the twist is not required to play! This month the twist is to create a 3-D project – which could be something like jewelry, gift box, canvas, gift bag, home decor, etc. I created a clutch containing a set of six notelets.

I created the clutch with a sheet of double-sided 12×12 paper. I got my inspiration from a tutorial in a recent Splitcoast Stampers newsletter HERE. I added a hot pink ‘hello’ die cut, some tiny flat-back pearls and a layered sticker over the closure. Then I created a set of six notelets featuring a hot pink ‘hello’ die cut, tiny flat-back pearls, a wide strip of the floral paper and a narrow strip of the hoy pink cardstock. I included A1 sized envelopes that I ordered from Amazon.

One more look – a close-up of the closed clutch. LOVE how this turned out! What fun!

Proud to enter this pretty little clutch with 6 notelets into the following challenges:

Red Glitter Ornament

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful crafty weekend! This month’s challenge is live over at Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project with you for MLCCB #14 – September Anything Christmas Goes! I created a beautiful red glitter ornament which I plan to gift because with eight cats, we won’t be putting up a tree again this year, lol! We love our fur babies, but boy-oh-boy they sure can wreak havoc on a Christmas tree! Bwahahaha!

Ornaments are really easy to create with intricate dies, as long as the design is the same on both sides. I cut four die cuts of this pretty round ornament from red glitter paper.

I folded each of them down the middle and adhered the right side of one to the left side of the next until all four were adhered. Just prior to adhering the third one to the fourth one, I sandwiched a loop of metallic string between the layers. I added a few clear rhinestones for a little extra added bling.

And here’s one more close-up look. Super happy with how this turned out!

I’d love to enter this ornament into the following challenges:

Santa Claus is coming to town

Hello, crafty friends! Happy Sunday – here’s wishing you a fabulous start to your week! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #125 – Anything Goes! Our fabulous sponsor this month is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps so be sure to come on over and play for the chance to win a prize! I created a super cute Christmas card using the Naughty or Nice stamp set, which I don’t see on the website, however, I do see one called Naughty-isms which is similar and equally as fun!

You know I absolutely love fun folds, and about three years ago I came up with a combined Joy fold and Z fold, which I called a Joy-Z fold. I haven’t seen another one like this, so I think it’s safe to say this is my own design, lol! If you’re interested, my original card is HERE. This Christmas version is a vertical orientation, done in the traditional red and green color combo, with added bling and a Santa sticker.

Here’s a shot of the Joy fold portion open to reveal the sentiments. Love, love, love! Needless to say, I chuckled a few times while this was in the making! ;)

And here’s a side view so you can see the construction. It really is a cool fold! ;)

And one more look up close. I already have the recipient in mind and I know they are going to love it! ;)
